The hypocrisy of the Biden administration cannot be more apparent. While Iran is going rogue and violating all clauses of its supposed deal, Biden accommodates them and, on the other hand, if Israel tries to defend itself and its citizen, Joe Biden starts preaching them. The overt hypocrisy is something that needs to be explained and put forward for everyone to observe.
According to Channel 12 News, Washington has told Israel that the “chatter” about its suspected involvement in the blast at the Natanz nuclear facility earlier this week must stop, warning that it is risky, damaging and embarrassing to the Biden administration as it tries to renegotiate a nuclear agreement with Tehran. And this statement comes at a time when Iran has made countless attempts to provoke and inflict damage on the Saudi Arabians and the Jewish state.
Riding on the blank cheque, Iran has been on cloud nine. Given the importance the Biden administration places on Iran, it has become overconfident. Iran’s hardliners have admitted that an Israeli ship, the MV Helios Ray, was attacked off the coast of Oman last Thursday. In addition, Riyadh was rocked by several explosions on Saturday after a missile assault by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran, was thwarted. These are only a few examples of the offensive being carried out by Iran’s proxies against Saudi Arabia and Israel.
And riding on the high horse of the US pandering, Iran has gone one step ahead to provoke Israel. An Iranian newspaper affiliated with the country’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei published an editorial Saturday calling on the government to strike Israel’s nuclear facility in Dimona in response to the recent attack on the Islamic Republic’s Natanz nuclear site, which was widely attributed to Israel.
In a desperate attempt to get Iran back into the nuclear agreement, the Biden administration has betrayed its Middle Eastern partners, handing Iran a major diplomatic victory. Tehran has become overconfident in its abilities as a result of this, and it has begun punching well above its weight. Iran is poking both Saudi Arabia and Israel at the same time, optimistic that without US assistance, neither of these countries will retaliate. Tehran is attempting to demonstrate to Israel and Saudi Arabia that their time has come to an end and that it will now seek retribution for their conduct when Donald Trump was in office.
Now even the Biden administration is warning Israel for self-defence, and this is absolutely not a way in which to treat a fellow ally. Writing in the ultraconservative Kayhan daily, prominent regional analyst Saadullah Zarai lamented the response seen thus far from the Iranian government following the April 11 sabotage operation at Natanz. “It is the clear position of this author that the appropriate response to the Natanz incident — based on [the concept of] an eye for an eye and based on the policy of creating a security deterrence — should be action against the [Israeli] nuclear facility in Dimona. This is because no other action is at the same level as the Natanz incident,” Zarai said.
All these provocations and confidence among the Iranian ruling class is possible due to the overt display of pandering by the USA and the warning Israel has received after the incident. Iran going rogue and violating all clauses of its supposed deal is cool with Biden but Israel defending itself is not cool.
